Our focus: your impacts and value
Positive Impacts brings together two interconnected perspectives:
Societal perspective
Measuring the positive and negative impacts organizations or portfolios have on climate, biodiversity, health, people, and society.
Business perspective
Linking those impacts to financial effects, risks, and opportunities — and translating them into strategy, aligned governance, and value creation.
Bringing these perspectives together gives leaders a complete view: not just how to report on sustainability, but how it truly matters — to society, to strategy, and to financial performance in the short, mid, and long term. This integrated, impact-washing-free lens is what sets Positive Impacts apart, enabling decisions that create both positive impacts and positive returns.

Explore StrategyFrom impacts to decisions that create values
Sustainability decisions require more than measurement — they need direction and financial clarity.
Why do we not just focus on compliance:
Treating sustainability as just a reporting or compliance exercise can be the biggest mistake leaders make.
What we recommend to do instead:
1. Measure positive and negative Impacts
Establish a fact-based baseline of where you stand today and where your impacts are heading tomorrow.
2. Link Impacts to Value & Risk
Translate impacts into financial insight, revealing where sustainability affects performance and guiding next steps for value protection and creation.
3. Define Strategy
Use these insights to set the right strategic ambition level — ensuring sustainability fits seamlessly into your strategy and drives competitiveness and growth across the short, mid, and long term.

For CEO's, CFO's, and Board members
Sustainability is no longer a “nice to have” — it directly shapes resilience, investor trust, and the cost of capital. Yet, linking societal impacts to financial value, risk, and strategy remains complex. We help you turn impact data into clear value and risk levers, enabling your board to steer with confidence.

For investors and financial services
Sustainability is no longer peripheral — it drives valuation, risk, and access to capital. We quantify how forecasted societal impacts (NPI®) propagate into portfolio risk/opportunity across asset classes, so you can allocate capital, engage, and report with confidence.
Asset owners (pension funds, insurers, sovereigns): align mandates, compare managers, set stewardship priorities
Asset managers (public equity, credit, PE/infra): integrate position-level signals into security selection, scenarios, reporting, and product design
Lenders: integrate impact-linked drivers into underwriting, pricing, and covenants.
the basics
For sustainability professionals
You live in the details — methodologies, metrics, frameworks, and regulatory requirements. Yet the real challenge is ensuring your expertise isn’t lost in translation amidst the flood of external demands. We provide rigorous impact accounting, benchmarking tools, and methodological depth — packaged in a way that connects with business leaders, enables action, and defends against compliance overload.

For managers (operations & business units)
Whether you lead HR, Innovation, Risk, Communications, M&A, or another function, sustainability is shaping your KPIs and decisions. The challenge: external rules and impact data often feel abstract or disconnected from your unit’s priorities. We help you translate sustainability into practical levers for people, processes, and performance — so your function contributes to both competitiveness and compliance.
